Reliance Infra share price jumps 5% on deal with Rafale jet maker Dassault Aviation, promoter stake raise
Anil Ambani-led company shares opened at ₹ 309.50, as compared to the previous close of ₹ 386.50. Reliance Infra stock has given significant gains to its investors by soaring over 44 per cent in a month and nearly 37 per cent in six months despite a volatile Indian stock market.
In an exchange filing dated June 18, the company announced that its promoters have acquired an additional 12,500,000 equity shares, which is a 2.55 per cent stake in the Anil Ambani-led company by way of conversion of warrants.
Risee Infinity Private Limited, Reliance Project Ventures and Management Private Limited, Shri Anil D Ambani, Reliance Innoventures Private Limited, Smt. Tina A Ambani, Shri Jai Anmol A Ambani, Shri Jai Anshul A Ambani and Smt. Kokila D Ambani, were the acquirers or persons acting in concert (PAC).
Reliance Infra's subsidiary company Reliance Aerostructure, will partner with Dassault to produce Falcon 2000 business jets domestically in India.
This is the first instance where Dassault will assemble its Falcon aircraft outside of France. With this milestone, India becomes one of the few countries—alongside the US, France, Canada, and Brazil—that produce business jets for international markets.
The first Falcon 2000 aircraft manufactured in India is anticipated to be ready by 2028, designed to meet both corporate and military requirements.
Unveiled at the Paris Air Show, the agreement entails establishing a final assembly line at Dassault Reliance Aerospace Limited (DRAL) in Nagpur, Maharashtra. This facility will act as a global centre of excellence for the Falcon series and is also expected to support future assembly projects for the Falcon 6X and 8X models.

Chaos in Delhi as private bus fleet goes off-road
New Delhi: Delhi's public transport system is under mounting pressure as over 600 buses were pulled from service on Wednesday, leaving lakhs of daily commuters stranded across the capital. The crisis was triggered by the termination of contracts for 533 private CNG cluster buses operated under the Delhi Integrated Multi-Modal Transit System (DIMTS) and an ongoing strike by bus operators over unpaid salaries. According to officials, 613 buses in total, including around 80 buses from the Ghazipur depot—did not operate on July 16. This abrupt drop in fleet strength has intensified crowding at bus stops and caused delays on major routes, especially during peak commuting hours in the morning and evening. Delhi currently records around 40 lakh daily bus passengers, but with fewer buses on the road, many passengers are forced to wait longer and travel in overcrowded vehicles. The problem is particularly severe in areas that already suffered from limited frequency and connectivity. Until July 15, Delhi's combined bus fleet stood at 6,368 vehicles, which included 3,372 buses from Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) and 2,996 from DIMTS. The DTC fleet comprised 1,170 CNG buses, 1,800 twelve-meter electric buses, and 402 nine-meter electric buses (Devi buses). DIMTS, on the other hand, operated 2,283 CNG buses, 380 electric buses, and 333 Devi buses. With the exit of 533 CNG cluster buses, the total number of operational buses has now fallen to 5,835, far below the estimated requirement of 11,000 to meet Delhi's public transport demands. The situation stems from the expiration of the bus contract on July 15. The dispute over the contract's renewal reached the Delhi High Court, which referred the matter to an arbitrator. On July 15, the arbitrator ruled that the contract period had not been extended, though the Delhi government is free to enter into a new agreement if it chooses. However, the transition has been anything but smooth, as salary delays have triggered a strike among drivers and operators, compounding the shortage. This double blow,legal delays and worker unrest has left commuters facing significant inconvenience. Long queues, packed buses, and uncertainty have become the norm for Delhi's public transport users. Critics have also pointed fingers at the BJP-led Delhi government, questioning its preparedness and long-term planning. Although the government has announced its aim to electrify the entire bus fleet by 2027, progress has been limited. Only small nine-meter electric buses (Devi) have been introduced so far, with larger electric buses yet to make a visible impact on the ground.
